FAQ | Game Juice - Cartridge and Console Cleaner

How often should I use Game Juice?

We highly recommend cleaning all your games before putting them in your system. Some of these games are decades old and have grime and oxidation that is not always visible to the eye. Eventually dirty games will stop your console from working or they will cease to work themselves. Use Game Juice before and after each use. This extends the life of your cartridge and prevents the build-up of grime and the oxidation process. “Spray before you play.” Use as a maintenance product Use as a preservation product Clean before extended storage If you don’t plan on playing your game for a while, you must clean and dry BEFORE storage. This will slow down the corrosion reaction and preserves your games. Clean every 2-3 months when stored
